The Portege M200 tablet PC improves upon Toshiba’s award-winning Portege 3500 tablet PC offering an impressive array of productivity tools and a uniquely-designed docking station. The

Toshiba Portege M200 delivers breakthrough performance with a rich feature-set, including Intel Centrino mobile technology, wireless connectivity and a hi-density, hi-resolution SXGA+ screen in a tablet, making it the most compelling and intuitive business productivity tool.

The test unit came with Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005 — this includes XP service pack 2. It also came bundled with Toshiba’s suite of excellent configuration utilities. The network tool that Toshiba has developed is especially useful when traveling and makes settings for the notebook and tablet function easy to access in one place.

Microsoft’s OneNote application is bundled with the M200 and this represents the biggest software inclusion. Basically, OneNote is a must have application for any tablet, and is bundled with most. It showcases a lot of the Tablet’s better features and is built to Microsoft’s usual high standard for Office applications. I am not sure that it stands on its own though and it is in no way a substitute for Word.

Toshiba has bundled Norton Antivirus 2005 with a 1-year subscription. The standard with most new computers seems to be a 30 or 60-day trial, so this is a nice feature.

Review By Notebookreview

Toshiba selected good components for the M200. In Canada the standard configuration is the Centrino package, which includes the 1.6 GHz Pentium-M processor, Intel 855GM chipset, and Intel 2100B 802.11b wireless. It would have been nice to have 802.11b/g wireless rather than the older B’ standard. In Canada, Toshiba does not offer an online notebook configurator so you are stuck with one standard configuration. At the time I was writing this article Toshiba introduces a refreshed M200 with a 1.8Ghz Dothan and 802.11b/g. A casualty of the standard spec is Bluetooth, which is available as a build to order option in the USA. In Canada you must buy the part and have a tech install it — or void your warranty if you do it yourself.

First generation Windows XP tablets didn’t exactly take the market by storm. Their screens weren’t as good as regular notebooks, they were underpowered yet cost more than traditional notebooks. Fast forward two years and take a look at second generation tablets like the Toshiba M200, Electrovaya Scribbler SC2010 and the ViewSonic V1250. Wow! These babies offer zippy Centrino processors, better graphics subsystems and screens that are much more pleasing. The Toshiba M200 series and the Compaq TC1100 are likely the best sellers on the market, building on excellent performance, innovative design and strong brand recognition.
